I got this for my daughter because she has a red kitchen. It says it is dishwasher safe yet and she has used it once a week since the end of Feb (probably the total number of times being 10) and yet the paint is chipping. I can't return it at this point and Amazon doesn't stand behind it, so do yourself a favor and just get a stainless steel pot, skip the cool colors....they aren't worth the extra price!!!

This is a good starter piece for any kitchen! The pot is just the right size for making a dinner portion for three or four people, less if you are a big eater!

Best Deals for Gibson Colorsplash Westmeade 3-Piece Pasta Cooker Set

never again will i purchased a painted stainless steel pot. first time i used this pot it was a bit too close the burner next to it and consequently got a palm-sized black burn mark that i can't remove. wish i could've returned it. this purchase was a mistake. i got it for to add a pop of color to my kitchen (wanted to get a whole set of yellow), so rather than throw it out or continue to use it, i've let it add color to my kitchen by sitting on a prominent shelf (burned side facing inward, of course).

i would not recommend this product.

Honest reviews on Gibson Colorsplash Westmeade 3-Piece Pasta Cooker Set

I really like this pasta cooker and the color looks nice on my stove.

Only problem I have with it is the size. That has nothing to do with the pot I'm just not finding it as easy to manage from a wheel chair as I thought I would.

For that reason I will find a good home for it.

This flatware far exceeded my expectations, the weight is heavier than I expected, almost like quality silverware. They have a nice, shiny, and have the perfect smooth finish that could be paired with nice china or everyday dishes. I highly recommend them, they definitely look more expensive than $30.00 flatware. I literally can't think of any negatives.

This flatware set is already tarnished and showing rust spots. I have purchased much cheaper packs of spoons and forks that lasted 300x longer. After 30ish days, this set is already at the point where I am throwing pieces away. Shame on me, I missed the return/refund window by 3 days. DO NOT BUY THIS SET.

I DO use the dishwasher (because that's what it's made for!) I do NOT use high heat modes and this still only lasted a meager month.

Pros: Great looking set that feels good in your hands

CONS: spend A LOT of time handwashing if you want these to last a REASONABLE amount of time.

I purchased this pan to be utilized as a "drip tray" for an older BBQ (for which I could no longer get the part). With a little tweaking, it worked out great.

I am quite happy with it. While it is not as heavy duty as my half sheet pans, I wanted a 3/4 sheet in order to bake 2 loaves of artisan bread at once. This baby is the perfect for that. It is the maximum size to fit in my oven (with an inch or 2 open on all sides for heat circulation). And it also fits in the fridge (I often shape the loaves and put them in the fridge overnight before baking the next morning -it deepens the flavor). Still fits in my skinny "tray cabinet" as well. Good value for the price.

Honest reviews on Johnson-Rose 21-3/4 Inch X 15-13/16 Inch X 1 Inch Aluminum Sheet

I ordered this pan recently, and then decided to try the Nordic Ware pan like it as well. This one is my favorite. They both work well, but this one the Johnson-Rose pan is shinier, and doesn't leave those "aluminum marks" on my towel when drying it. This is a great size pan. It fits in my standard-size oven with about an inch to spare around all sides, and it's heavy enough to resist warping in a hot oven. Have used it mainly for roasting vegetables and baking cookies, which all turned out great. I love being able to bake such a large pan of cookies, meaning fewer batches and less over-all baking time. If I decide that I need another one, this is the one I'll order.

Ordered 2 of these pans and found them dented on arrival, but Amazon quickly sent replacements that arrived in good condition. They are fairly thick aluminum and seem to be built well. These baking pans are huge! I measured my oven before ordering to be sure they would fit and they have an inch or two in front and behind for air to flow around them, but nearly touch the sides. I made some peanut butter cookies the other night and was able to fit 20 cookies on one sheet (on parchment paper) and they baked up beautifully, though I did have to increase the baking time by a couple minutes from what I would use with my old nonstick cookie sheets. (I understand that is typical when using the shiny aluminum surface instead of the dark surface on the non-stick sheets.) I had some concerns about whether there was enough air space around the pans, but my test cookies all cooked up very evenly. If I find a difference in evenness after more tests, I'll be sure to update the review. I can't comment on how they clean or how baked food releases from the aluminum because I always use line with parchment paper when baking. (I find it convenient to slide a whole sheet of cookies -still on the parchment paper -onto a cooling rack when they are done baking.)

Pros:

Good quality construction.

Very large surface area.

Good solid edges add stiffness and would contain lots of liquid if using it to catch drips under a roaster or pie or whatnot.

Cons:

The edges make it more challenging to slide off a sheet of parchment paper full of baked cookies.

Since it is aluminum, baked goods take a couple minutes longer than on a darker (non-stick type) pan.

*The pan doesn't have much airspace around it, which MAY prove to be an issue in certain applications such as baking multiple sheets at once, but I have not yet had opportunity to test it yet, so this is only an assumption.

I would recommend this product to those who enjoy baking, but make sure to measure your oven first.

The dimensions posted are incorrect. The actual dimensions are 8.6 X 6.4 X 1.1" It led me to believe the product was a little larger than it is. It will serve my purpose, but I would have purchased the 7.5" dish had I seen it first.

Buy Cuisinox - Salt, Pepper, Or Flax Seed Mill

Customer Ratings:

My wife bought me a combination Coarse Salt and Whole peppercorn grinder (squeeze type) for Christmas. It broke in half after about 4 months of use, rendering it functionally useless. Aside from the shoddy workmanship, the grinding mechanism left A LOT to be desired; everything came out coarse regardless of the setting you used. I was looking for a replacement and found these Salt or Pepper mills on Amazon. I bought one white and one black; for the obvious reasons (white = salt and black = pepper; for those of you in Rio Linda, as Rush would say).

They both work fantastically. They have twist-to-grind ceramic mechanisms, are made of glass and hold quite a bit of either salt or pepper. The coarseness dial is very adjustable and the price was just right. Buying two of these on Amazon cost me less than half what the double grinder my wife bought me cost so that satisfies my cheapness gene. I use them every day and have had them nearly a mont now. So far, not a single complaint to be made about them at all. They work as expected every single time I use them; the mechanism doesn't "gum up" with material, the coarseness settings work very well, and they look good on my table.

I have a cabinet full of salt mills -some never worked, some worked for awhile, some simply fell apart, and some -well, they "kind of" work. This one works!

Stainless is going to get marked from any number of items cooked in it. I use the Calphalon stainless for cooking everything! The right cleaner will get the marks out/off. I have yet to have cleaning failure. The only cleaner that I have found to be absolutely successful on stainless is Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish: 12 OZ (available on Amazon). This is a powder not creme paste. The paste does not work well. The right scrubber with the powder makes an enormous difference. I have tried all kinds, but found The Original Magic Jetz Scrubz J22 Scrubber Sponge Round (available on Amazon) to be far superior than others in cleaning any stainless cookware with the Bar Keepers. Of additional help is a bit of elbow grease not too much needed. Calphalon is expensive, but it cooks likes nothing else. Cleaning should not be a deterrent as to purchase or not. One just needs to use the right cleaning combination for the job.

Staub Round Cocotte Review

Customer Ratings:

This is a terrific item, that is beautifully finished. Is it better than le Creuset? That's a matter of opinion. Both brands are top quality, so I would readily recommend either one. The 2-quart size is great for preparing main courses for 2-3 people, but not as good for larger dishes. Last, but not least, Amazon had a very low price on it with fast, free delivery.

This is my first piece of Staub and I was looking forward to receiving it. I was aware of the size but love it for small jobs it really keeps you items moist. Very interesting how it compares to my Le Creuset. Different interior color and texture which actually adds to the sealing in of the foods juices. Clean up was simple as well. Would by another piece to add to by Enameled Cast Iron collection. Great Price too!

I could not resist the good deal I got on this "French Oven" in basil. I love this item! It is a darling little pot sitting on my stovetop. This 2 qt size is quite small about 7" diameter x 3.5" high. But that also makes it easier to handle than the larger Dutch ovens, since it is still a solid, heavy duty enamel cast iron pan.

This pan makes PERFECT! rice nice and fluffy, absolutely no sticking or browning/burning on bottom of pan. I think it is due to the even heating of the cast iron thick walled pan and also due to the self-basting spikes on the lid, so that the rice steams perfectly in the pan. I have made white jasmine rice and regular brown rice and both turned out PERFECTLY. Much nicer than a rice cooker or pressure cooker. Recipe: I followed the rice:water ratio on the package (1 c dry rice) and added 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp butter. Add everything to pan, bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low then simmer for time directed on package. Remove from heat (do not remove cover) and let sit until ready to serve. It fits 1 c dry rice (cooked) just right any larger quantity and I assume it will overflow.

I have not yet used the pan for cooking anything else. It is a little small for homemade soups or main dishes but would be good for reheating (if that is your thing I am a microwaver, myself). I think it will make great oatmeal or steel-cut oats by a similar method to the rice. I also love the color of this pan a deep pretty green.

Have a number of odd-ball or miscellaneous pots and pots? You want a lid for it, but it either never came with one or you have lost it. Your savior is at hand.

I ordered two, and both came pre-dented. LOL Anyway, the lid is aluminum, so I expected it to be on the flimsy side. Although I think $5 would be a better price than the price I paid for.

Best Deals for Wallace Continental Bead Stainless-Steel 65-Piece Boxed Flatware

I have purchased four sets of this Continental Bead Stainless set. I have given sets to my children as wedding gifts, none better. Good quality stainless. The first I bought, from a warehouse store 15 years ago, was branded as by Cuisinart. I looked long years before I found the same set by Wallace, which had made the Cuisinart set. Reviews which take objection to the heavy weight and larger size of each piece are being unfair to the rating system and this set. The term Continental means oversized. You got exactly what you ordered. These are wonderfully full sized, and a good heavy weight, which I have not found anywhere else. They are thick, not thin and light. The salad fork is the same long tined pattern as the hefty dinner fork, not wide tined like other salad forks, and is preferred by my daughter for use as her dinner fork. The soup spoon holds soup in a large bowl. wallacesilversmiths.com shows this 65 piece set with a 25 year manufacturer's warranty, 40/18 stainless, and dishwasher safe. They show their 20 piece and 78 piece sets as "quality 40/0 stainless". Finally, any stainless knife will pit from electrolysis if left in a stainless sink under water touching another non-stainless knife, pot, or other inferior flatwear. The softer alloy in stainess steel is pulled out of the steel, and the steel rusts in the pit because it is no longer the stainless alloy. Newer dishwashers have grids to keep flatware from touching for that reason. The whole surface never rusts, only a smear around the pitted point of contact. Never mix metals under water. Ask any outboard motor owner. Buy this set. Thank me later.
